Abstract

We measured biophoton emissions from rat livers. For the photon counting measurement, we used a photomultiplier tube and data acquisition systems contained in a dark room. Within about five minutes after we extracted the livers from Sprague Dawley rats, the photons emitted from the samples were counted. Through simplified processes, we confirmed the well-known phenomenon that the time dependence of the number of photons per second from bio-samples shows a hyperbolic relaxation, contrary to the exponential decay seen for photons from non-bio-samples. We also discuss how to infer the spontaneous photon emission from the decay pattern under the hypothesis that biophotons originate from a coherent field occurring within living tissues.
